Supply-side adaptation strategies

Policies for dealing with and adapting to water scarcity and drought should primarily concentrate on efficiency improvements and reducing demand as described in the previous section. However, in some circumstances, it may be necessary to balance demand side policies with the exploration of supply side measures. This is particularly true in arid regions and in those areas where water scarcity and drought are already causing considerable adverse impacts on certain sectors or on the population in general.
